Heading south of Boston on Route 3 brings you right to Cape Cod,
a pristine summer get away and vacation destination for many New
Englanders. I routinely make the 1 and a half hour drive down to the Cape to capture its beautiful coastal scenery at all times of the day and in all seasons. During
my last photo trip this summer I returned to Paine's Beach and Landing to
photograph an oyster farming setting with baskets, cases, and beds. This evening clear skies dominated and coincided with low tide and a full moon rising across
Cape Cod Bay. The sun was already very low painting the beach in
beautiful hues. I found Jellyfish on the beach that beautifully
reflected the sunset light. The sun was about to sink below the horizon when I used the oyster farming equipment and poaching cases in this Cape Cod coastal living photography image as an interesting foreground feature. My Canon camera and lens was equipped with a split neutral density filter to overcome the high contrast between the darker foreground and the flaming sunset sky.

Aperture was
f/22, resulting in a 1 second exposure time at ISO 100.
During my routine post processing I removed dust spots, adjusted lighting, contrast and color saturation before
sharpening the final Cape Cod Sunset photography image.

Juergen finds inspiration in Boston
when not chasing the light at nearby Wildlife Sanctuaries and the beautiful
landscapes and seascapes of New England. He
has always regarded nature as the ultimate inspiration.
